My education is mechanical engineering and I currently work as an energy engineer. Check out my Linkedin profile by following the link at the bottom of this page. DISCLAIMER All views expressed on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the opinions of any entity whatsoever with which I have been, am now, or will be affiliated.

My github account exists, but at this point in time does not contain anything interesting.

I try to be active on stackoverflow as much as possible and post as Prevost.

Documentation is driving this website and it’s purpose. I am interested in documenting useful code and methods including:

R programming language (mosty revolving around –> knitr | tidyverse | data.table)
Latex typesetting language
Github commands
Building energy simulation (OpenStudio, eQuest)
Windows terminal commands
MS Office functions and VBA

Please see my getting started post on how to set up producing dynamic reports using R and Latex in RStudio, through the package knitr.

Latex can show equations such as:

$${\sqrt {n}}\left(\left({\frac {1}{n}}\sum _{i=1}^{n}X_{i}\right)-\mu \right)\ {\xrightarrow {d}}\ N\left(0,\sigma ^{2}\right)$$
